Definitions

  • This invention refers to a security seal, of the type made up of a plastic or similar material flexible strip, ending on a wider section fitted with a passage through which the strip may be inserted, starting at its free end, and including strip holding means.
  • seals of the type mentioned may be used to fix labels and similar items, as well as to serve as informative elements in respect of the possible violation or undue handling of a given object or article.
  • the object of this invention is a seal in which the passage narrowing may be effected easily and above all safely, offering strip retention means, whether fitted with teeth or not, guaranteeing the integrity of the seal.
  • the passage through which the strip is introduced is fitted with a transversal metal plate fitted with an opening defining the narrowing of said passage.
  • the area surrounding the metal plate opening shows approximately radial notches or cuts that determine flexible intermediate rims or tabs that are slightly inclined in the same direction, from their starting point. The internal edge of these tabs limits a minimal girth passage approximately equal to that of the section of the flexible strip lengths not fitted with notches or teeth, but smaller than that limited but said notches or teeth, if the strip is fitted with teeth and slightly smaller if not fitted with teeth.
  • the toothed strip may slide freely through the passage, whenever through the narrowing run strip sections not fitted with teeth or notches.
  • the tabs or rims that limit the opening of the metal plate bend in the direction of their inclination, thus allowing the passage of said teeth or notches. If in this situation or position the strip is to be pulled out, the tabs act as retaining anchors against which the strip notches or teeth are supported, preventing them moving backwards. Also in the case of toothless strips the tabs flex allowing their entry, but if anyone tries to pull out the strip, the tabs stick into the strip preventing their movement backwards.
  • the metal plate may be fitted, on the side towards which lean the rims or tabs, with a peripheral wall, thus adopting a bowl configuration.
  • the metal plate opening may include a wider intermediate area, limited by narrower equal end areas and circular boundary.
  • the flexible strip presents, along the anchoring strip or strips, a thickening along its longitudinal edges determining two edges, upon which are formed equidistant and conical shaped peripheral offsets, aimed in the same direction, to define the anchorage notches or teeth.
  • the plate opening may also show other arrangements that are in agreement with the strip section upon which it must act, so that it may present the shape of several aligned secant circles, or either Maltese Cross shaped, ideal for a circular section strip.
  • Either one shape or the others may cooperate with toothless strips.
  • the widening of the flexible strip has, in the thickened section in which the passage is located, a housing that leads outside and in which the metal plate or bowl is introduced.
  • the plastic material strip is shaped approximately as the uniform passage section, later introducing in the fore mentioned housing the metal plate, which shall define the passage narrowing.
  • the flexible strip may have along its length a graduation that would allow it to show that the strip has been cut and newly used.
  • the flexible strip may also have, near its widening, an actuation tab that in cooperation with two weakening lines would allow manually actuated seal breakage.
  • Figure 1 is a lower plan view of a seal made pursuant to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the seal in the closed position.
  • Figure 3 corresponds to detail A of figure 1 at a greater scale.
  • Figures 4 and 5 are passage sections taken, respectively, as per cut lines IV-IV and V-V of figure 3.
  • Figure 6 corresponds to detail P of Figure 1 at a greater scale.
  • Figure 7 is a cross section of the flexible strip, taken as per cut line VII-VII of Figure 6.
  • Figure 8 is an upper plan view of the plate defining the passage narrowing.
  • Figure 9 is a plate longitudinal section, taken along the IX- IX cut line of figure 8.
  • Figure 10 is a cross section similar to that of figure 4, with the metal plate mounted and the flexible strip introduced through the passage.
  • Figures 11 and 12 represent views similar to those shown in figures 8 and 9 of a plate opening variation.
  • Figures 13 and 14 represent views similar to those shown in figures 8 and 9 of a second plate opening variation.
  • Figure 15 represents a view similar to that of figure 1 of a flexible strip variantion.
  • Figure 16 represents a section of figure 15 given by the XVI-XVI cut line.
  • the seal represented in figure 1 is made up of a flexible strip 1, for example made of plastic material, topped at one of its ends by a rectangular boundary widening 2. This widening presents, as may be better observed in figure 2, a thickening 3, in which a passage 4 has been effected, see figure 1, through which may be introduced the strip 1, as from its end 5.
  • a metal plate 8 Inside housing 6 is introduced a metal plate 8, figures 8 and 9, presenting an intermediate opening 9, on which boundary are made approximately radial notches or cuts 10 limiting flexible intermediate rims or tabs 11. As may be observed in figure 4, all the tabs or rims 11 lean in the same direction. Plate 8 may be enclosed, on the side towards which lean the tabs 11, by a peripheral wall 12, adopting a bowl configuration which size corresponds to that of the housing 6, described with reference 3 to 5.
  • the opening 9 presents a wider intermediate area 13, limited by end areas 14 equal to each other and of a lesser width, of circular boundary.
  • the flexible strip 1 features, as may be observed in figures 1 and 2, along a given length, a slight thickening 15 along its longitudinal supports, determining ribs which, as may be better observed in figures 6 and 7, present peripheral conical shaped surface offsets 16, all of them aimed in the same direction, to determine anchorage notches or teeth.
  • the tabs 11 of the metal plate 8 are sized so that the internal edge 17 of said tabs determines a minimal boundary passage approximately equal to that of the section of the flexible strip 1 lengths without ribs 15 but smaller than that limited by said ribs.
  • the opening of the metal plate 8 may show various shapes.
  • the opening 14' of the plate 8 has the shape of several aligned secant circles. This shape may be used with flexible strips featuring a section with as many ribs, which may also be fitted with teeth or not, or even with flat ribless flexible strips.
  • the opening 14'' presented by the plate 8 of the figures 13 and 14 is specially designed for circular section flexible strips.
  • FIGS 15 and 16 feature a seal in which the flexible strip 1 shows flat thickening 15' and is fitted along its length with a grading 18, which mission is to reflect the number of times that the seal has been used, given that due to the strip having a considerable length, it may then be cut and reused.
  • the fore mentioned seal does also feature, in its flexible strip, close to the widening, a tab 19 matching two weakening lines 20 that do allow breaking off the seal easily without requiring the use of any instrument whatsoever.
